Abstract

The invention relates to a security system (9) comprising a computer (1), which centralises data from a movement detection means (3), a seismic sensor (4), and a dome recording camera (2) with LED night light. In addition, the computer (1) transfers the data selected as relevant by means of a GPRS channel (7) or a radio channel (8) via another neighbouring security system to the central control unit (10). The security system acts as a transmitter and receiver by means of the GPRS and radio channels. Moreover, the security system (9) comprises a battery (5) and a solar panel (6). A mesh (15) is provided by the radio channel, as in FIG. 4, by means of which a device that is sabotaged by means of GPRS inhibitors or network. In this way, the security systems (9) are in constant communication with the central control unit and the users (16).

Description

FIELD AND BACKGROUND

A series of video cameras dedicated to hunting in order to detect if a potential prey has been in a certain place at a given moment are already in the market. The device makes a photo or video through a system of motion sensors. Furthermore, there is a version of this device that sends the information via satellite to the mobile phone, allowing the visualization of the image in real time.
Therefore, this device allows checking and monitoring a given area using very few human resources and getting an image of the item in movement.
Using a simple technological system, a continuous surveillance of a given area is achieved in any type of inclement weather,

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the invention is a safety system as defined in claim 1. Further objects and advantages are defined in the pending claims 1 to 7.
It is proposed a remote security system with flattened sphere shape on its vertical axis, comprising:

- A GPRS transmitter and receiver (7) for data transfer via satellite.
- A receptor and radio wave transmitter(8) for the data transfer system.
- A seismic sensor (4), which can detect any type of sabotage, like an impact in the security system of the invention.
- A movement sensor (3), which allows the detection of any unknown person in the area of protection of the safety system.
- A DOMO camera equipped with night vision (2), which allows recording whenever it is necessary for the protection of the security system.
- A computer (1) able to process the information received from the DOME camera, seismic and movement sensors, and transmitting the data by via GPRS or satellite radio.
- A power supply (5) with a storage capacity of the electric power generated by a solar panel (6).
- A system of visual and audible alarm (17), to deter when necessary.

A further object of the invention is a structural support according to the features of claim 2. This support is characterized by a distribution of its four pillars that allows the DOMO camera almost complete vertical view. This support has a bulletproof glass in its vertical portion allowing greater protection of the device to prevent possible sabotage.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Other features and advantages of the invention will be understood from the following description supported with the attached drawings, referred to non-limiting examples in which:

FIG. 1 shows schematically a perspective view of the surveillance system.

FIG. 2 also illustrates schematically a view of the supportive structure of the monitoring system according to the invention.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the security system of the invention.

FIG. 4 illustrates the use of the grouped security systems and the advantages of this arranged connection to be centralized through a center that receives all data sent to individual users.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show the possible use of the security system in a linear or polygonal complex respectively, in which with only a central device incorporating cameras and detectors in series, it is possible to protect a large area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED PRODUCTION

The security system (9) consists of a computer (1), which centralizes data movement detection means (3), the seismic sensor (4) of the recording night vision LED DOMO camera (2) that allows the recording of images with a light that is not perceptible to the human eye. The computer (1) transfers relevant signals by via GPRS (7) or radio (8) to neighboring security systems. Through the means of GPRS and wireless security system receives and transmits data. This security system (9) consists of a battery (5) and a solar panel (6) that allows self-sufficiency.
All the objects cited before are protected by a capsule consisting of a semi-spherical armored glass (11),that allows the vertical view of the dome (2) camera, and the rest of metal to protect the security system sabotage. The upper part (12) is also made out of glass to allow the entry of light to the solar panel (6). The bottom (11) and upper (12) are joined by a metal joint (13 and 14), of FIG. 2 that is the support of the safety system.
Via GPRS (7) direct contact is established between the alarm centre and users. The net is set by the radio (15) as explained in FIG. 4 in which a device that suffers an inhibition sabotage or GPRS network failure, will contact to the alarm centre of a neighboring device informing the malfunction. These security systems (9) are in constant communication with the alarm centre and users (16).

Data Transfer

Each time the computer (1) receives a signal given by the movement detector (3), the seismic sensor (4) or due to the lack of communication with the control panel (10); takes a photograph of the guarded area, and sends the data to the alarm centre or user (16) via GPRS (7) or radio (8) to a neighboring security system (9).

Alarm Activation

The security system (9) sends data to the user or alarm centre and, when confirmed a possible threat after a certain time, camera starts recording and activates audible and visual alarm (17). The security system being threatened will emit a bright red light, and neighboring systems will emit a bright blue light.

Frequency Change

The system uses two-way data transmission as a shield against possible attacks of inhibitors, so the computer will have frequency changes to reduce the harmful effects of such actions. In case of a reasonable time of disconnection, the alarm is automatically activated.
